Review:
"This book serves educational leaders well in clearing out the bureaucratic techniques of impersonal management and focusing the core of leadership on dealing with school change as a most human endeavor. When all is said and done, the quality of education revolves around the aspirations, commitments, and wellness of teachers giving their best. This work is timely, thoughtful, and practical. Well done!"
